635318 2008-01-30 01:32:00 On Win98, and get an error message in triangular shape with the words

getANIDData

I click the OK button and it goes away and nothing happens.
Googled for the above but it showed nothing.
What on earth is it?

I have just reformatted my Win98 PC because it decided to stop working just like my other PC on WinXP - but that's because it doesn't even power on. They both hate me, lol.

But it was getting this error message before I reformatted as well.

cheers

635319 2008-01-30 03:12:00 WHEN did this message come up then??

If its not even going

Or is it going, and this message appears after you formatted and reinstalled 98??

On startup?

That error message seems to come on with either of my browsers, IE and Avant - which is based on IE anyway.
It happened before and after my reformatting the disk.
And when I press ok, a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark accompanying the words "Done, but with errors on page" sits in the lower left corner of my screen.

I had thought it had something to do with the PC crashing - ie. when starting up the computer, the IBM screen would come on, then the Win98 screen would appear, then an error message would appear - "Explorer illegal operation error" and "this program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down. If problem persists contact the program vendor" and "Explorer caused an invalid page fault in module Explorer.exe at 015F:00401F31 and loads of numbers after that. . ". So I would press close and it would go back to a blank screen.

Then when I pressed Control-ALt-delete to get out, that box comes up which shows what processes are being used, but it had nothing at all in it. Everything seemed to have vanished.

Anyway, I would have loved to have found out what that getANIDData was all about, as it still appears. As long as the computer still works, I can live with it coming up.

Its all in one word < GetANIDData >
Google won't find it for me, so God knows what it is.

? the ID stands for identification, the Data - well just data.
